In the embodiment of the disclosure, the driving circuit 110 includes a first scan transistor Ts, a second scan transistor Ta, a first drive transistor Td and a storage capacitor Cst. The first scan transistor Ts is electrically connected to the data line DL and the node N1. For example, a first terminal of the first scan transistor Ts is electrically connected to the data line DL, a second terminal of the first scan transistor Ts is electrically connected to the node N1. A control terminal of the first scan transistor Ts receives a scan signal SS. The first drive transistor Td may be electrically connected to a capacitor Cst. A control terminal of the first scan transistor Ts may be electrically connected to a scan line and receives a scan signal SS. The second scan transistor Ta may be electrically connected between the first driving transistor Td and a data line DL. The second scan transistor Ta may be electrically connected between the first driving transistor Td and the node N1. A first terminal of the second scan transistor Ta may be electrically connected to the storage capacitor Cst. A second terminal of the second scan transistor Ta may be electrically connected to the circuit node N1 or data line DL for equivalent functionality. A control terminal of the second scan transistor Ta may be electrically connected to a scan line and receives a scan signal SS. A first terminal (drain) of the first drive transistor Td is electrically connected to the first voltage V1. A second terminal (source) of the first drive transistor Td is electrically connected to the node N1. A control terminal (gate) of the first drive transistor Td is electrically connected to the storage capacitor Cst and the first terminal of the second scan transistor Ta. A first terminal of the storage capacitor Cst may be electrically connected to the first voltage V1 or any DC voltage source. A second terminal of the storage capacitor Cst may be electrically connected to the control terminal of the first drive transistor Td and the second scan transistor Ta. The driving circuit 110 is a source follower amplifier circuit comprising a first drive transistor Td electrically connected between the first voltage V1 and the node N1.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the driving circuit 110 may be a programmable voltage source circuit and may be configured to drive the electronic component 120 according to a data voltage Vdata provided by the data line DL. The circuit 130 may be a bias current circuit, such as a sink current circuit, and configured to provide a bias current Ib transmitted from the circuit node N1 to the third voltage V3. In the embodiment of the disclosure, the first scan transistor Ts, the second scan transistor Ta and the first drive transistor Td may be N-type transistors, such as N-type metal oxide semiconductors (NMOS), but it is not limited.

When the first drive transistor Td is an N-type transistor, and the first voltage V1 is higher than the second voltage V2, and the first voltage V1 is higher than the third voltage V3. The first driving transistor Td is configured to source a current as a source follower amplifier circuit.

The storage capacitor Cst may storage the quantity of electricity corresponding to the data voltage Vdata. Then, during a bias period, the first scan transistor Ts and the second scan transistor Ta are turned-off based on the scan signal SS, and the storage capacitor Cst may provide the voltage (Vdata) to turn-on the first drive transistor Td, so that the second terminal of the first drive transistor Td may provide a drive current Id to the node N1 from the first voltage V1. Moreover, the driving circuit 110 may provide a leakage current Iv to drive the electronic component 120 through the circuit node N1. That is, the leakage current Iv is the drive current Id minus the bias current Ib. If the leakage current Iv is greater than or equal to the lowest limit of the drive current Id minus the bias current Ib, the first drive transistor Td may generate the drive current Id adaptively to compensate a lower leakage current Iv to keep the data voltage Vdata, and the lower leakage current Iv may be compensated by introducing the bias current Ib. Thus, during the bias period, the node N1 may keep with the bias voltage of the electronic component120 corresponding to the data voltage Vdata minus Vth of the driving transistor Td, and the drive current Id may compensate the leakage current Iv.

The circuit 230 may be a bias current circuit, such as a sink current circuit, and the circuit 230 may be configured to provide a bias current Ib transmitted from the node N1 to the third voltage V3.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the first scan transistor Ts, the first drive transistor Td, the first compensation transistor Tc, the first bias transistor Tb and the first reset transistor Tr are N-type transistors, such as NMOS. Specifically, the first voltage V1 is higher than the second voltage V2, and the first voltage V1 is higher than the third voltage V3. During a reset period, the first reset transistor Tr is turned-on based on the reset signal SR, and the voltage of the control terminal of the first drive transistor Td is reset. During a scan period, the first scan transistor Ts and the first compensation transistor Tc are turned-on based on the scan signal SS, and an external driving circuit may provide the data voltage Vdata to the driving circuit 210 through data line DL. The storage capacitor Cst may storage the quantity of electricity corresponding to the data voltage Vdata plus the threshold voltage Vth of the first drive transistor Td.

Moreover, the driving circuit 210 may provide a leakage current Iv to drive the electronic component 220 through the node N1. That is, the leakage current Iv is the drive current Id minus the bias current Ib. If the leakage current Iv is greater than or equal to the lowest limit of the drive current Id minus the bias current Ib, the first drive transistor Td may generate the drive current Id adaptively to compensate the leakage current Iv to keep the data voltage Vdata, and a lower leakage current Iv may be compensated by introducing the bias current Ib. Thus, during the bias period, the node N1 may keep with the data voltage Vdata, and the drive current Id may compensate the leakage current Iv.

Therefore, the electronic device 200 may realize to operate the electronic component 220 based on a stable bias voltage and with a large operating range. The circuit 230 may be electrically connected to output of the driving circuit 210 in addition to the electronic component 220 which is equivalent to increase the leakage current of the electronic component 220 to relax the minimum current requirement for the driver circuit 210. Then, the circuit 230 can contribute to extend the operation range to provide the stable bias voltage for the electronic component 220.

Furthermore, the electronic device 200 may also perform a forward current test operation. In the forward current test operation, the node N1 may be applied the data voltage Vdata which is equal to the third voltage V3, so that the first drive transistor Td is turned-off. The circuit 230 comprises a driving transistor Td′ electrically connected between the node N1 and the third voltage V3. When the driving transistor Td′ is an N-type transistor, the third voltage V3 is lower than the second voltage V2, the electronic component 220 performs a forward current test operation. Thus, a forward test current may be formed from the second voltage V2 to the third voltage V3 through the electronic component 220 and the circuit 230. The forward test current may be equal to the bias current Ib. At the same time, a varactor and/or a diode disposed in the electronic component 220 drive by the forward test current may be sensed by an external test equipment through means of thermal sensing, optical sensing, physical deformation sensing or others, so that it can be confirmed whether the electronic component 220 is damaged.

Thus, a forward test current may be formed from the third voltage V3 to the second voltage V2 through the electronic component 220 and the circuit 230. The forward test current may be equal to the bias current Ib. At the same time, a varactor and/or a diode disposed in the electronic component 220 drive by the forward test current may be sensed by an external test equipment through means of thermal sensing, optical sensing, physical deformation sensing or others, so that it can be confirmed whether the electronic component 220 is damaged.

Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 , in the embodiment of the disclosure, the driving circuit 410 is configured to drive the electronic component 420 according to a data voltage Vdata provided by the data line DL. The circuit 430 may be configured to provide a bias current Ib transmitted from the circuit node N1 to the third voltage V3. In the embodiment of the disclosure, the first scan transistor Ts, the first drive transistor Td, the first compensation transistor Tc, the first bias transistor Tb and the first reset transistor Tr are N-type transistors, such as NMOS. In the embodiment of the disclosure, when the first drive transistor Td is an N-type transistor, the first voltage V1 is higher than the second voltage V2, and the first voltage V1 is higher than the third voltage V3.

During a reset period from time t 2 to time t 3, the first reset transistor Tr and the reset transistor Tr′ are turned-on based on the reset signal SR with a high voltage level, and the voltages (Td:Vg and Td′:Vg) of the control terminal of the first drive transistor Td and the control terminal of the drive transistor Td′ are reset. Thus, the voltage (Td:Vg) of the control terminal of the first drive transistor Tdis equal to the first voltage V1. The voltage (Td′:Vg) of the control terminal of the drive transistor Td′ may be equal to the first voltage V1. The voltage (Td′:Vs) of the second terminal of the drive transistor Td′ may be equal to the third voltage V3.

During a scan period from time t 4 to time t 5, the first scan transistor Ts, the first compensation transistor Tc and the compensation transistor Tc′ are turned-on based on the scan signal SS with a high voltage level, and an external driving circuit may provide the data voltage Vdata to the driving circuit 410 through data line DL. Thus, the voltage (Td:Vs) of the second terminal of the first drive transistor Td may be equal to the data voltage Vdata. The voltages (Td:Vg and Td:Vd) of the control terminal and the first terminal of the first drive transistor Td may be equal to the data voltage Vdata plus the threshold voltage |Vth| of the first drive transistor Td. The voltage (Td′:Vs) of the second terminal of the drive transistor Td′ may be equal to the third voltage V3.

The voltage (Td:Vd) of the first terminal of the first drive transistor Td may be equal to the first voltage V1. The voltage (Td:Vg) of the control terminal of the first drive transistor Td may be equal to the voltage (Vdata+|Vth|). The voltage (Td:Vs) of the second terminal of the first drive transistor Td may be equal to the voltage (Vdata-dV). For example, voltage drop (dV) may be caused by leakage current Iv plus bias current Ib to generate drive current Id for current balance, the first drive transistor Td is turn-on and generates drive current Id. After current balance, the voltage of the node N1 may be equal to the data voltage Vdata minus a voltage drop (dV). Thus, the voltages (Td:Vs and Td′:Vd) of the second terminal of the first drive transistor Td and the first terminal of the drive transistor Td′ may be equal to the voltage (Vdata-dV).

Moreover, the driving circuit 410 may provide a leakage current Iv to drive the electronic component 420 through the node N1.

Thus, during the bias period, the node N1 may keep with the data voltage Vdata, and the drive current Id may compensate the leakage current Iv.

Therefore, the electronic device 600 may realize to operate the electronic component 620 based on a stable bias voltage and with a large operating range. The circuit 630 is electrically connected to output of the driving circuit 610 in addition to the electronic component 620 which is equivalent to increase the leakage current of the electronic component 620 to relax the minimum current requirement for the driving circuit 610.

In the forward current test operation, the node N1 may be applied the data voltage Vdata which is equal to the third voltage V3, so that the first drive transistor Td is turned off. The second voltage V2 is higher than the third voltage V3. Thus, a forward test current may be formed from the second voltage V2 to the third voltage V3 through the electronic component 620 and the circuit 630. The forward test current may equal to the bias current Ib. At the same time, a varactor and/or a diode disposed in the electronic component 620 drive by the forward test current may be sensed by an external test equipment through means of thermal sensing, optical sensing, physical deformation sensing or others, so that it can be confirmed whether the electronic component 620 is damaged.
